There's nothing like that for BS.   You can find plenty of code on github, but whether you'll be able to find what you're looking for I couldn't say.

    Do you have some suggestion on how to search? github is big, and google bigger, so I would hope for at least some keyword to narrow the search, or, some "awesome list" of libraries, like https://github.com/sorrycc/awesome-javascript

        I can accept the status of the things. That the roku community is smaller than other ones, and there are less resources and - banally - workforce that in other environments. But please don't encourage it.
